1/10 The leadership of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (#CNRP) and its millions of members and supporters extend warmest congratulations to the American people who, in massive numbers, have freely and democratically chosen their leaders at local, state and federal level.

2/ We have witnessed and admired how millions of Americans, in the largest turnout in over a century, have patiently participated in the long process.

3/ Democracy in the US is an inspiration to Cambodians all over the world. The CNRP extends most sincere congratulations to President-elect @JoeBiden and Vice President-elect @KamalaHarris.

4/ We are convinced that their message of unity, togetherness and openness for all American citizens will make the United States stronger and more powerful, both at home and abroad.

5/ The CNRP reiterates that the United States is an honest and transparent partner of Cambodia. We share the same values of freedom, tolerance, openness, respect for every opinion and every citizen and the economic empowerment of all – values laid down in Cambodia's constitution.

6/ The CNRP greatly appreciates everything US administrations have done for Cambodia in the past. We are determined to continue working with the administration freely chosen by the American people, and their representatives in Congress, to promote our mutual national interests.

7/ It is only through cooperation based on open, transparent dialogue and shared values that our common interests will be advanced.

8/ Cambodians and the CNRP continue to rely on the US support in ensuring that the 1991 Paris Peace Accords and every article of the Cambodian Constitution is fully respected and implemented, and that Cambodia’s military neutrality is maintained.

9/ The role of the US in ensuring justice is served is critical. We underline that those responsible for violating the rights of Cambodian citizens must face international justice. Cambodian institutions including the judiciary serve only the ruling few.

10/10 The CNRP will never give up the struggle for genuine democracy in #Cambodia. Emboldened by the perseverance of our people and empowered by the resolve of our international partners, we will continue our struggle to offer Cambodians the opportunity to choose their leaders.
